Help Your Dog Relax: A Holistic Look at Canine Anxiety & Sleep Health
If your dog paces at night, whines during car rides, or seems constantly on edge, you’re not alone. Anxiety affects an estimated 70% of dogs — and poor sleep often follows. But calming your pup doesn’t have to mean prescription meds or sedation.
What Causes Anxiety in Dogs?
- Separation (being left alone)
- Noise (fireworks, thunder)
- Travel or vet visits
- New environments or people
Chronic anxiety can affect their digestion, immune system, and behavior over time.
Why Sleep Matters
Restorative sleep is when your dog’s body heals and resets. But if your dog is anxious, they’ll struggle to get quality rest — leading to irritability, immune stress, and even destructive behaviors.
Natural Ways to Support Calm & Sleep
1. L‑Theanine
An amino acid from green tea, L‑theanine promotes relaxation by boosting alpha brain waves — without sedation.
2. Melatonin
This naturally occurring hormone helps reset your dog’s internal sleep clock and improve nighttime calm.
3. Chamomile & Passionflower
Both herbs are known for their soothing properties — reducing excitability and promoting mellow behavior.
4. Probiotics for the Gut-Brain Axis
A healthy gut produces neurotransmitters like serotonin. That’s why gut health is key to your dog’s mood, too.
